Abstract
Based on the reactivities of monoclonal antibodies, we previously reported that 25 Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus strains fell into five antigenic groups: Nakayama, Beijing-1, Kamiyama, 691004 and Muar. In the present study, we produced monoclonal antibodies against the Beijing-1 strain and obtained the Beijing-1 group-specific antibody, designated BEGMA 1. Furthermore, antigenic comparison of the seven JE virus strains isolated in India was performed by using BEGMA 1 and other group-specific antibodies. The results showed that six strains fell into the Kamiyama group to which the currently prevalent strains in Japan belong.
